Chapter 107

Wow!

So refreshing!

But after the satisfaction, he felt a bit embarrassed.

As a dignified great director, he was actually doing such a shameful thing.

How embarrassing!

He looked up cautiously, wanting to see the reactions of the others.

Only to find that they were just like him, intoxicated by the deliciousness!

"Wulu jili guala maka mo ya."

Strange syllables came from Peng Peng's mouth as he was currently gnawing on a pig trotter.

He wanted to praise it so much.

But he couldn't bear to part with the deliciousness in his mouth, so he could only make such sounds.

Gulp, gulp!

Beside him, He Jiong drank bowl after bowl of soup with a face full of surprise.

It seemed he only wanted to eat this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and fill himself up.

Look at Director Chen again.

Holding a chopstick of sea cucumber, he was in a daze.

He could find the fresh fragrance of seafood on his taste buds, capture the sweetness of the meat, and even taste the oily fragrance of the dish.

With so many sensory experiences, why were they completely blended together?

"Delicious!"

Zhang Zifeng was also eating with great relish.

This was a delicacy guided by her idol, so naturally, she had to eat a few more bites.

Hmm.

It really wasn't that she was gluttonous.

Only Huang Lei was looking at them with a miserable face.

Hey.

Don't just eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Eat some of the others too.

Those are all my signature dishes!

Are you guys doing this to me fair?

"Old Huang."

"Your culinary skills are truly beyond my expectations!"

After briefly satisfying his taste buds, Zhang Yimou wiped his oily mouth and praised endlessly.

It was truly too unexpected!

He hadn't personally tasted Huang Lei's cooking before; he had only seen it on TV or heard friends talk about it.

Of course, he felt that most of it was just people being polite.

But now...

It was too amazing.

"Lei Zi, I really want to say sorry to you."

"Now I believe you; your strength in culinary arts is no less than your acting!"

Director Chen hurriedly bit down on the sea cucumber he had been eyeing for a long time, feeling satisfied.

I doubted you before.

I was wrong!

"Not to mention you guys, even I, who often eats Teacher Huang's cooking, am quite surprised!"

"I didn't expect that after half a year, Teacher Huang's culinary skills would have improved so much!"

He Jiong was actually the most surprised.

Teacher Huang's cooking before was okay.

The cooking now is simply excellent!

But there was a gap between the two, and it was a big one.

He could now absolutely guarantee that any exclamation or praise he showed in front of the camera was real!

"Wulu jili guala."

Peng Peng also wanted to chime in, but his mouth was blocked by a rib.

Tender but not greasy, smooth and sweet!

Delicious!

Not only were they like this, but even the staff behind them were swallowing saliva and staring wide-eyed.

Although they didn't get to taste it, just by smelling—oh no, just by looking.

They knew it must be especially delicious.

Even Director Wang quietly leaned over and whispered to Huang Lei, "Brother Lei, leave some for us too."

Anyway, the atmosphere of the entire Mushroom House was stirred up by the grand finale dish, 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.'

But Huang Lei couldn't be happy at all.

Is it delicious?

Without a doubt.

Are they eating happily?

It's obvious.

Are they all praising him?

Indisputable.

But all of this was only possible because Brother Qin guided him!

If it were the version he had finished himself, it would probably be at least 40% less delicious!

"Why don't you guys eat some of the other dishes."

Huang Lei twitched the corner of his eye and said with a wry smile.

"Eat, eat, eat."

"Eating right now."

"Are the other dishes even better?"

"Let me taste."

Everyone finally started to shift their attention, not all focused on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

"Hmm, although it's a bit off, it's still good. This twice-cooked pork is fried quite crispy and tender, bonus points!"

"Quite delicious, this shredded pork with two peppers has a faint fragrance, spicy with a hint of sweetness, and in the sweetness, there's a slight texture of meatiness."

"Oh my, the stewed vermicelli has a bit too much salt, especially the vermicelli, it tastes a bit salty. Teacher Huang, add less salt next time."

"The tiger skin green peppers are fried quite numbingly, that feeling is there, let me have another piece."

Soon, comments were made one by one.

Huang Lei was stunned.

Truly stunned!

Everything they praised was the part Brother Qin had pointed out!

And what they disliked was also where Brother Qin had found problems!

Heavens!

Is everything I controlled myself so featureless and not worth mentioning?

"Teacher Huang, what's wrong? Eat with us."

"Are you embarrassed because we're praising you?"

Beside him, He Jiong saw Huang Lei in a daze, patted his shoulder, and smiled.

"Exactly, if you don't eat, it'll be gone."

"Lei Zi, keep working hard, this time it was done quite well, but don't get carried away!"

0... Beg for flowers...

Director Chen said righteously.

"Teacher Huang, what you made today is really delicious!"

"I'm not losing weight this season!"

Peng Peng said.

Huang Lei's face became more and more miserable.

Sigh.

My pain, you don't understand!

This meal was eaten very happily, very lively, and with great gusto.

A full six dishes, with very generous portions.

They were all swept clean by everyone!

"Phew."

"Stuffed."

One by one, they leaned back in their chairs, their faces full of satisfaction.

"Alright."

"I admit it."

Suddenly, Huang Lei stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"What are you admitting?"

"What do you mean?"

"Old Huang, what do you want to say?"

Everyone was startled and looked at him suspiciously.

"Actually."

"This 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' was made under Brother Qin's guidance; the deliciousness and texture are actually his credit."

"And for the other dishes, the parts you mainly praised were also pointed out to me by Brother Qin; otherwise, what I made would have been the parts you disliked."

Huang Lei said slowly, feeling miserable.

"Teacher Huang, don't say that."

"I only said a tiny bit."

Qin Mu said.

Don't be so polite.

I really only did a "tiny bit."

Sure enough, Huang Lei's words left everyone stunned.

Huh?

Guidance?

So, the deliciousness was all made by Brother Qin?

Swish, swish, swish!

Their gazes looked over in unison.

Full of amazement and shock.

Brother Qin's culinary skills are this strong?!

"Brother Qin, you're the one who shouldn't be polite."

"I know my own level."

"I'll have to ask for your advice more in the future."

Huang Lei said with a wry smile.

He wasn't someone who loved vanity.

It was impossible to force honors that didn't belong to him onto himself!

This...

Everyone was speechless.

Just staring blankly at Qin Mu.

He had given too many surprises!
